Process

I completed an hour-long HackerRank test before speaking to a technical interviewer. It was actually an interesting problem, not a FizzBuzz test. I was able to solve it in time, but apparently not well enough, or not neatly enough – I'm not sure what their priorities were.

Questions

Given a pattern string like "ABBA" and an input string like "redbluebluered", return true if and only if there's a one-to-one mapping of letters in the pattern to substrings of the input.
